Jessica Chastain, "Zero Dark Thirty"
"Next year at some point, I need to sit in a room by myself and be like, 'Where do you want to go, Jessica?' because this year and a half has been... a lot."

Benedict Cumberbatch, "Sherlock"
"I've had asexuals come up to me and thank me for representing asexuals. I don't know how that came about. I mean, the man's too busy to have sex."

Lee Daniels, "The Paperboy"
"It’s important to tell your kids that they can do anything. I tell my kids that every day. That you can be president, that you can be an astronaut. Because my dad told me early on that I would be nothing. That you’re a faggot who will be nothing. So I revert back to that when I get negative criticism for the work that I do. It takes me right back to what my dad told me."

Julie Delpy, "2 Days in New York"
When asked about how the shoot was coming along for the follow-up to "Before Sunset," Delpy said: "I mean Ethan [Hawke] is crazy, but he's a great writer. I'm saying that because I just found out he said that in an interview, that I'm crazy. It got me really angry [laughs]. It's so unfair because he doesn't understand that being a woman director is already such a complicated thing. Everyone assumed that women are crazy, so if you say that... I know what he means by saying I'm crazy -- that I'm a goofball and make the craziest jokes. But I'm everything from crazy. I directed four films in five years and I had a baby in that time too. If I was crazy, I would not have had a baby and made four films. Obviously I'm so not crazy. I'll direct him one day and he'll see how not crazy I am."

Lena Dunham, "Girls"
"I try not to read too much blogroll. I'm on Twitter all the time, and I'm very aware of what people are saying about me on there, so when Criterion announced the DVD [of 'Tiny Furniture'], a small but ardent group of people said, 'This will not happen.' People were really pissed. I was like, 'You don't have to buy it! Calm down!'"

Anthony Hopkins, "Hitchcock"
"I was so paranoid about the movie after it was finished, I thought, 'Oh, I’d better go live in the Antarctic.' I wasn’t sure what happened."

Helen Hunt, "The Sessions"
"It's getting too late in my life to care about the small things. It's getting too late to not be brave, to not live my life fully, to not try to be an artist. Trivial things like how nice your hotel room is, or if you have to be naked for a while, they fade away."
